Pros

Many employee benefits. Great work culture, managers have plenty of experience and are highly accountable for their teams. People are humble and smart! It's great to be surrounded of individuals who make a difference. Leave structure is very flexible. Free lunches on Thursday, Office Snacks, Team Building Events Encouragement, and much more...

Cons

Structure still a bit unclear, as part of being a start up in growing stage. Hard to know where to get an answer from.
